So let me take this medicine
To quench my love for violent things
My swan song will
Be like a bullet laced in anger
As the razor cuts the soft spot on your heel

(Each breath) it's getting slower
(This war) it's getting harder
To fight by myself
(Sick waves) a bitter fashion
(Rip down) this shield that I have
Tears rain from above

Do you see the life I lead?

So follow me into the sun
And I will bleed the poisons dry

These bayonet scars never cease
To blind the light, shed from the beast
And all we do is hate

(Eyes shot) from constant visions
(Angels) are rendered useless
Good has lost its heart

Do you see the life I lead?

So follow me into the sun
And I will bleed the poisons dry

For you [2x]
(For you) [3x]

Bite to break skin
Don't give the secret
My stoic face
Beating with passion
The Phoenix will die
Inside the firestorm
I am the son
Follow my footsteps
Follow my footsteps

    FallOutBoyGirl4Life Interesting you mention Hawthorne Heights...This song has a Legion of Doom Mix on the Underworld Evolution Soundtrack which I think is actually even better than this fabulous version. LOD also remixes the song When Do I Stab Myself in the Ears by Hawthorne Heights on that Soundtrack as well....Puscifer, Chester Bennington, the entire Soundtrack is so innovative and most people will probably never discover it, quite a shame...

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
